This is a hands-on engineering role focused on operational software systems, real-time sensor integration, track correlation, and situational awareness — not radar design or algorithm research. The focus is on building and supporting software that ingests, processes, correlates, and fuses radar and sensor data to support real-world operational decision-making systems.

What You’ll Do

• Interface with existing and legacy radar and sensor systems
• Ingest and process radar-generated measurements and track data
• Develop software for track correlation, fusion, and situational awareness
• Support integration of multiple sensors into unified operational pictures
• Debug and resolve complex system-level issues involving latency, concurrency, and real-time behavior
• Work within large-scale, long-lived C++ codebases
• Translate system requirements and CONOPS into software solutions
• Support deployment and sustainment of operational C2 systems
• Collaborate with engineers, stakeholders, and end users in a defense environment

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
